Living In Port Credit
Mississauga’s “Village on the Lake” has a historical significance as it was a popular meeting place for French AND later English AND Mississauga Ojibwe natives in the 1700s. Goods were traded on “credit” at the mouth of what is now the credit river and Lake Ontario which gave way to the neighbourhoods name “Port Credit”.
Port Credit is a destination village for a variety of reasons. There are numerous festivals that take place here throughout the year. There is the Port Credit Harbour Marina where boaters and sailers slip their boats.
There are over 400 retail shops, boutiques, and services, exceptional dining and entertainment venues as well as the famous seafood restaurant Snug Harbour located right in the harbour.
